Great Work! Now that you have shared a bit about yourself, we’d like you to consider a scenario in which you can choose a car from a set of cars with different attributes.

Let’s learn about the attributes.

Types of Powertrain	Powertrain Definition
Conventional	Gasoline engine only.
Hybrid (HEVs)	Smaller gasoline engine + electric motor + small battery. Gasoline engine recharges the battery, fuel consumption is reduced
Plug-in Hybrid (PHEVs)	Hybrid that can also be plugged in to an electrical outlet to charge the battery. Runs on electricity for a short range (10 – 40 miles), then switches to gasoline
Electric (BEVs)	Electric motor only. Must be plugged into an electrical outlet to be refueled

	Range - The maximum distance a vehicle can travel in a full tank/ fully charged battery.
	Price - The final price paid for the vehicle in dollars, including all taxes and fees.
	Model Year - Model/Manufacturing year is the actual year the vehicle was built.
	Mileage - The number of miles vehicle has traveled while in operation
	Operating Cost (Equivalent Gasoline Fuel Efficiency) - Cost in cents per mile driven of fueling the vehicle. The equivalent fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (MPG) of a conventional gasoline vehicle is displayed in parenthesis. (Assumes gasoline costs$3.30/gallon and electricity costs $0.16/kWh).
